Mildred Marie Copenhaver McThenia, age 75, passed on Friday, January 25, 2013, at Grace Health Care.

In accordance with Mrs. McThenia's wishes, there will be no viewing at the funeral home but family and friends are welcome to visit her home at anytime.
The family would like to offer special thanks to special caregivers Melissa Brown, Amanda Puckett and Danny McThenia. Also to Linda Talbert who has been faithful to check on her daily and to all the prayer warriors who have continually prayed for her and our family.
The family request that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the American Cancer Society and/or the Mountain Youth Academy Relay for Life team at Mountain Youth Academy, 332 Hospital Drive in Mountain City TN. 37683
Although she will be missed and life will be so hard without her- it's great to know that one day we will see her again and she is now rejoicing with her husband and parents in a city built by God for those who trust him.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
